A pretty clear message... right?

No question about it. Time to go shopping.

 

Well I'm sure the extra slots aren't there to hold a couple of brooms, a mop and an umbrella. I'd say fill it up with what it's meant to be filled with!

Time to go bass shopping

 

Oh my,

I would consider the answers to two questions first:
1) Are your basses usually all over the place - if so, she's not giving you license to buy more basses, she's telling you to put yer $#it away.
2) Are your basses in one place, specifically a place she has designs on placing say a credenza? - if so she's telling you to get yer $#it out of her way.

By no means is the previous list of questions exhaustive, those are just the two reasons my wife has suggested I need a multi-stand, in chronological order no less...

 

I can assure you that you will have a more definitive answer as soon as you go out and buy a couple more.

The other distinct possibility is that your wife also bought you 4 more basses to fill the rack, and she just plans to keep it a secret until Christmas. You should plan to be a model husband for the next 8 days so you don't screw it up!

 

Yes, buy more! If you bought her a new shoe rack that held 50 pairs and she only had 20, don't you think she'd fill that with no hesitation?

 

Hecks yes! Get's to buyin!

 

Methinks you should be able, provided you remain in 'good hubby' status, to parlay this into four gifted basses from the wife. Bring her into the process... discuss color coordinating your new axes so they look good in a row, that kind of thing.

Let me be the first to (prematurely) congratulate you on the seven-bass collection!

 

naw .. I find on the 7 space cases that I like to only put 4 in, and leave a space between each ...

... so that means you only get to find ONE more ... and that she cares about keeping your basses nice so they dont hit against each other in the rack ...

... Merry Christmas ... what did you get her?

 

Cool chick right there. Yes, 4 more

 

I think it shows she expects you to buy more and the stand is her way of making peace with that. Wouldn't fill it up as quickly as possible, but no shame in picking them up when the right opportunities present themselves.

 

.. outstanding choice ... and congratulations! ...

... very familiar with them, in fact I have been comtemplating getting Gramma (my wife) a Grandmothers ring, but just waiting to see if the kids are done making her more grandbabies ...

 

I think the clear message is....you have an awesome wife! Congratulations!!

(Mine bought me a Tacoma CB10E4 for my birthday many years ago so I should know.)

 

Fender guy mainly? How about a fretless Precision? Don't see those every day. Bonus - you can channel your inner Sting:

 

The four extra spaces are their so you can buy each child a bass and get them learning as soon as possible. Obviously, if your kids are still too young, you still need to purchase the instruments now so you can get to know them and therefor teach better!

 

Go ahead and order 4 more she won't mind.

 

What about a rock bass short scale? But then you would still have 3 spaces left!
